Figure i.53 Example of Protection Circuit Design for Multiple Motors
NOTICE: Thermal protection cannot be provided when running multi-motors simultaneously with the same drive, or when using motors with
a relatively high current rating compared to other standard motors (such as a submersible motor). Failure to comply could result in motor
damage. Disable the electronic overload protection of the drive (L1-01 = “0: Disabled”) and protect each motor with individual motor thermal
overloads.
Note:
Close MC1 and MC2 before operating the drive. MC1 and MC2 cannot be switched off during run.
Setting 1: General-purpose Motor (Standard Self-cooled)
Because the motor is self-cooled, the overload tolerance drops when the motor speed is lowered. The drive appropriately
adjusts the electrothermal trigger point according to the motor overload characteristics, protecting the motor from overheat
throughout the entire speed range.

Motor designed to operate from line
power.
Motor cooling is most effective when
running at rated base frequency (check
the motor nameplate or specifications).
Continuous operation at less than line
power frequency with 100% load can
trigger a motor overload fault (oL1). A
fault is output and the motor will coast
to stop.
Setting 4: PM Derated Torque Motor
Use this setting when operating a PM motor. PM motors for derated torque have a self-cooling design and the overload tolerance
drops as the motor slows. Electronic thermal overload is triggered in accordance with the motor overload characteristics,
providing overheat protection across the entire speed range.

Reaching 100% when operating at

L1-02: Motor Overload Protection Time
Sets the time for the drive to shut down on motor overload (oL1) when the motor is running with excessive current. Enter the
time the motor can withstand operating at 150% current after previously running at 100% current (hot motor overload
condition). There is normally no need to change this parameter from the default value.
